Sarah and I flew out Friday evening to visit with friends in Dallas for a couple of days of Texas fun. We hit Chuy’s and Knox St. Pub on Saturday night on what resembled one of our good nights from college. Down to the sound track at the pub!

Sunday morning was recovery time until football time came around and we lounged around the tv, recalling the best moments from the night before. That afternoon we went back to downtown to grab some burgers from Jake’s and catch the middle of the Cowboys-Giants game. We made it back to the house in time to catch the end of the game. Eventually we went back to the airport so I could catch my flight back home.

I still cannot believe that USC could not get past the Bruins for their tickets to Glendale. Blair and I agreed they are a second half team but they could not move the ball past the Bruin defense. Given the score from that game and the Florida win over Arkansas, I am happy to see the BCS got it right for the championship game. Ohio State returns to Arizona for a chance to win another National Championship. If I am a real state agent in Ohio, I would probably look for a strategic partnership with a Phoenix rental company given how often OSU comes to bowl games here in Phoenix.

I had to miss our championship game but I was glad to hear we won 2-0 over the Bosnia FC and claimed the title for this season. Apparently there was some controversy from the other team after our second goal. They received a number of red-cards and the referees called the game. I don’t have all the details but we won!
